Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 28:8

_ _ lion’s whelps — literally, “the sons of pride,” that is, the fiercest beasts.

_ _ passed — The Hebrew implies the proud gait of the lion. The miner ventures where not even the fierce lion dares to go in pursuit of his prey.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 28:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 28:8

Lion — Which rangeth all places for prey. The birds and beasts have often led men to such places as otherwise they should never have found out; but they could not lead them to these mines, the finding out of them is a special gift of God.
